The Grandest Trek: Unforgettable People, Stories, and Lessons for Life from Hiking the Length of the Grand Canyon is the latest book from Dr. Tom Myers. 

Fewer than 100 people have hiked the Grand Canyon from end to end. The Grandest Trek is a collection of remarkable stories of some who did. Most of them are inspiring. Some are tragic. All are true.

At the heart of the book is the author’s own journey with his son, who was struggling through adolescence at the time. Together, the two made a series of linked hikes of more than 600 grueling miles through harsh and unforgiving terrain, completing the Canyon’s length in 2016.

And while The Grandest Trek presents the fascinating history of lengthwise hiking in Grand Canyon, more importantly, the book also delivers the powerful and timeless message that spending time in nature can heal emotional wounds, improve self-worth, and forge unbreakable bonds of human connection.

All proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to Grand Canyon Conservancy in memory of Robert Eschka Benson, one of Grand Canyon's greatest hikers.
